Sierra Nevada Transportation, Inc. v. Nevada Transportation Authority
Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, No. 22-15823 · judgment October 18, 2023
Before the decision, about 3.3× the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for a Ninth Circuit decision below, a circuit split argued in the petition, and a dissent in the court below (flagged in the petition), and down for a state or local-government respondent.
Question presented
Does a federally-licensed limousine company state a valid claim for relief under 42 U.S.C. §§ 1983 and 1985 against state regulators for violating the dormant Commerce Clause, where the company attempts to provide ground transportation to airline passengers in the stream of commerce as one leg of a passenger’s continuous, pre-arranged interstate trip and state regulators prevent the federally-licensed company from providing its passenger services because it does not possess a state-issued certificate of public necessity and convenience.
